Just strange about the episodes of severe fatigue - I could predict them, hard work then down for about 2 days. But now persistent...
I would go visit our MG forum anyway. There are variants to MG that are seronegative, that some of them have and describe.
It wouldn't hurt to read them a bit there. The characteristic weakness which resolves when rested, is typical of them.

Some of them have swallowing and breathing difficulties too.

Things that will help muscle weakness are:
B6 (pyridoxal)
acetyl carnitine
CoQ-10
r-lipoic acid

These help with mitochondrial issues. It is possible you have a mito disorder that just appeared. It can happen that way.
Research on mito disorders is ramping up now. There is alot on the net about it.

Severe allergies can also cause a weak feeling. But not that numbness.
